random

All these photos was taken using my iPhone and the image - not bad for printing, I printed a few in small sizes. Taken in the morning before leaving the house, during shopping time, at the hospital and etc. So it is randomly taken...as she is the only apple of my eyes.

Here is my layout...

get well soon

Remember on my previous entry about my baby inguinal hernia surgery? I know it is kind of past event however I just scrapped about her last weekend...it was our photo taken in the hospital. We was put in a two bedded room in SDMC (Sime Darby Medical Centre) or known as SJMC as there is no single room available. So Daddy changed us to VIP Suite, it is a huge room bigger than the one in Prince Court. The big room is more than enough for us so that whenever she cried no one gets disturb. Daddy's girl...how lucky! she recovered fast though after the surgery she is all cheerful and giggled.

Here is my layout...

I used Jim Holtz tiny attacher and I stapled those 3 ribbons

faces of you

These are the photos that I cut and collect all this while, all her photos mostly are candid and I decided to just scrap those photos. I used paper tagger to attached my buttons and the love frame. The paper tagger works like magic...and I coloured the title with gold colour and punched the top and bottom layout with Martha Stewart puncher. Here is the outcome...

The love frame was put up using the paper tagger

Lake Cruising

We went for Lake Cruising last month and my baby is a bit grumpy at first. After a while she is calmed as she was amazed to see the swans', fish and some other creatures while we cruised. This layout is also my submission for Scrap-It-Lah May sketch challenge.

Tully's Coffee

It has been so long I did not write anything in my blog, been busy with family and etc. I have not scrapped for more than a month now and I have been wanting to scrap many many weeks ago but my "mojo" just did not want to visit me! It took me 3 days to finish this not so great layout of mine...as I have no idea on what to put and what colour to use and I even don't know how to use an eyelets (because of so long I did not scrap!) I ended up wasted 3 eyelets as I hammered the wrong side.

I used the making memories stamp for all the words that I stamped on the right side of the layout and did you guys notice my photo....I cut the edge of the photo using my "antique paper cutter" which was made in 1978. I realized it is the same cutter they used to cut our old photos in 1960. Those days all the Chinese photo shops use this cutter to cut their photos...kind of nice/traditional, no? except the photo is coloured not black and white. (Let me know if anyone of you interested to get the antique cutter)

Here is the layout...

Sewing machine

I am looking to get a sewing machine to stitch on scrapbook pages. I have heard great things about few "brands" and I am considering purchasing one. However, I would like to see if there are others I should look into. I am looking for something reasonably priced, easy to use, space-efficient, and will handle sewing paper well. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Thanks to my friends for recommending me to a local craft store and also a recent buy from online shops make me feels so happy, I've got what I want and still it is not enough!!!

Texture : { Create } Make it happen!

At { Create } Make it happen! their April challenge is hosted by DT Nadia, for this challenge you are required to add texture to your layout instead of just patterned papers...you can see some of the amazing layouts done by { Create } Team here.

As for my layout, this week my 'mojo' decided to peep me instead of staying over the weekend hence, my creative juice is very limited or I should says minimal...and I came out with just a little of textures'. I wanted to put more texture or "drama" in my layout but I can only came out with... I put black corrugated board and sand it with the Making Memories sanding block I glued the top of the corrugated board and put a little bit of coloured sands, sealed it with the H20 varnish to give shiny look finished, I used purple aluminium foil, put the emboss script and run them with my Sizzix Big Shot machine and the result my purple foil has got the script embossed on it. Some old net lace at the bottom, flowers and my patterned paper itself has got this embossed clear ink pattern. Not my favorite layout though...
